Ben   Young
“Doubting is biblical, historical, and normal for many Christians who are trying to follow God in their lifetimes. It takes courage to face uncertainty and to live with doubts that may never completely go away.”
Ben Young, Room for Doubt: How Uncertainty Can Deepen Your Faith

“Frankly, the whole concept was a little too New Age—y for me.”
Kristen Roupenian, You Know You Want This: Cat Person and Other Stories
